Glaiza de Castro got candid about the realities of a long-distance marriage.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, the actress opened up about her relationship with David Rainey who is based in Ireland.

"Masaya, though siyempre nandiyan pa rin ang challenges sa aming distance," she admitted. "Kasi hindi pa rin naman natatapos 'yung parang chapter namin sa pag-alis at pagdating. 'Yung love and hate relationship sa airport, nandiyan pa rin."

Glaiza said she was grateful to have spent several special occasions with David in Ireland last year,  but admitted that living away from each other again never gets easier.

"Last year, I was there sa Ireland to celebrate Christmas, New Year, birthday and then siyempre ang saya sa feeling na makasama siya sa importanteng okasyon na 'yun and then it has to end kasi kailangan kong bumalik dito," she said.

When asked if she and David are ready to have a baby, Glaiza replied: "Ready na. Like before hesitant ako to say this because meron pa akong ginagawang mga pelikula, series, trabaho pero it will come kapag po ayos na lahat pero hindi ko siya pinipilit."

The Sinagtala star went on: "Kasi the more I think about it, the more people are asking me about it, 'Oo, sige na, sige na.' Pero nananalig pa rin ako, at naniniwala ako na darating siya sa tamang panahon."

Glaiza and David tied the knot in October 2021 through a Game of Thrones-inspired ceremony in Northern Ireland.

On January 23, 2023, the couple held a second wedding in the Philippines, which was a Filipiniana-themed beachside ceremony in Zambales.

In an Instagram post at that time, Glaiza shared her gratitude for how everything turned out, describing the wedding as a special moment.

"'Yun na ’yung pinakamasayang gift na natanggap namin dahil naramdaman ko na Siya mismo [ang] nag-abot. Ang saya lang makita na nandun lahat ng mga importanteng tao sa buhay naming," she remarked.

Glaiza and David first met in Siargao in 2018 during her birthday trip. They became a couple later that year and got engaged in December 2020, during one of Glaiza’s visits to David’s hometown in Ireland.
